Rise From Eight Hundred

Ozawa Risou did not make a decision, but the Japanese infantry could not wait any longer.

There were only a dozen horse-drawn carriages in the baggage train, which could not hide so many people. Most of the Japanese infantry entered the stone peaks, and only Ozawa Risou led less than 20 people to hide on the mountain road with large carts as a barrier.

Even if a dozen large carts were loaded with infantry artillery shells that could blow him to pieces if they exploded.

Yes, Colonel Takeuchi Yunshan should have been disappointed by the Chinese. He still felt that the 50 shells per gun carried by the infantry artillery squad were not enough, and he brought another car with 200 shells for backup.

He even brought an additional 30,000 machine rifle bullets and 1,000 grenades for grenade launchers, and for this reason, he also reduced the amount of military rations he carried.

On the battlefield, the abundance of ammunition is more important than food, and Takeuchi Yunshan's approach was recognized by the Japanese infantry.

Although he was next to a "barrel of explosives" that could crush him to pieces at any time, Ozawa Risuo was not afraid. He bet that the Chinese, who had already consumed a large amount of military supplies, wanted to seize this batch of supplies.

What was the Chinese plan?

How could they guarantee that they could kill him and others while also seizing this batch of supplies that were extremely tempting to them?

The Japanese Army Captain could only think from the perspective of his opponent at this moment, and his expression kept changing, representing constant overthrow and denial.

Because, those who don't think hard may not be qualified to think.

Ozawa Risuo made the right bet.

Long before the battle began, Zhao Daqiang had examined the baggage cart covered with green military waterproof cloth several times through a telescope, and he saw the shell box and bullet box through the gap.

If these things had made Zhao Daqiang salivate before the battle, he had to have them now.

He and the 4th Company had already consumed most of the large amount of ammunition they brought. If they just killed some Japanese but didn't seize any, he would have a hard time explaining to Tang Dao.

Therefore, he was determined to get this batch of supplies.

More than 20 carts could no longer move after the battle began.

In order to prevent the pack horses from being frightened and pulling the baggage down the ravine, Zhao Daqiang originally asked the precision shooters in each squad to shoot the pack horses, but before they fired their machine guns, the Japanese army took action.

Compared with the officers and soldiers of the 4th Company who were eager for supplies on the mountain, the Japanese soldiers on the mountain road were more afraid of the pack horses being frightened. Once the frightened pack horses dragged the carts and ran wildly, there would be many deaths.

What's more terrible is that some carts are still loaded with artillery shells and grenades. If they broke into the ambush area of ​​the Chinese and were detonated by grenades, just thinking about it would scare Captain Ozawa Risei, whose little brain was turning happily at the moment, to death!

The Japanese captain had not even ordered a counterattack before he issued an order to shoot the pack horses first.

This decisive move reduced a lot of casualties. Otherwise, the packhorses frightened by the gunfire and artillery could have used the heavy carts to help the 4th Company eliminate at least dozens of Japanese soldiers, indirectly reducing a lot of ammunition consumption.

It's a pity that Captain Ozawa Risei, who performed so well, is still surrounded and struggling in a desperate situation. It's not known whether he will have the opportunity to continue to show his excellence in the future...

On the mountain!

Except for the third platoon leader who took an infantry platoon to take a shortcut to prevent the Japanese from running back, the other two infantry platoon leaders and the fire support platoon leader surrounded Zhao Daqiang.

Zhao Daqiang's telescope has passed around the three of them in turn, and he can see the current formation of the Japanese army clearly.

"Company commander, what should we do? The Japanese seem to sense that we want to seize the baggage, so they hide behind the carts and don't come out, nor do they run to the pile of rocks we left for them."

The second platoon leader of the fourth company came from the 67th Army. He was already a platoon leader when he followed Tang Dao to fight the Battle of Cangcheng. He is also a veteran. Northeastern people are originally straightforward. When they are anxious, they are anxious on their faces, and they ask questions directly.

"Old Jiang, why are you so anxious! In this battle, we have basically achieved the tactical goals required by the superiors. The Japanese army has been crippled. The rest depends on how to kill them all bit by bit.

As for supplies, the superiors said that it would be best to seize supplies, but if the Japanese army resists stubbornly and cannot be seized, the safety of the officers and soldiers will be the first principle, and the first goal will be to completely annihilate the Japanese army. If you dare not obey, we will bombard them and blow them to pieces." The deputy company commander and first platoon leader of the 4th company replied with a faint smile.

Seeing this person speaking, the straightforward second platoon leader could only nod and suppress his anxiety.

This was a platoon leader of the 43rd Army, named Cao Shubin. As his name suggests, he looks very gentle, just like a scholar. But only those who are familiar with him know that he is really a ruthless person. Once on the battlefield, he is a desperate man. He stands in the trenches with a Mauser pistol in one hand and a samurai sword captured from the Japanese army in the other hand. That is his standard.

During the Battle of Cangcheng, Qian Dazhu's infantry platoon was beaten badly, with only two people left in a platoon, but this infantry platoon also had less than ten people surviving, and hundreds of Japanese bodies fell in front of their platoon.

If Zhao Daqiang was not the guard squad leader of the 26th Division Commander, and had good marksmanship, and had been the guard platoon leader of the Tang Dao, several factors made him beat all competitors and be elected as the commander of the 4th Company. Who knows, the commander of the 4th Company might be his.

In fact, even Tang Dao weighed the pros and cons between Zhao Daqiang and Cao Shubin for a long time, and finally he chose Zhao Daqiang, who was more familiar and reliable. But he also had a plan in mind. If the troops were to expand in the future, as long as the deputy company commander who had been promoted to lieutenant performed well in the subsequent battles, he would definitely be able to get the position of an infantry company commander.

And there were only a few army lieutenants included in the assessment of the independent battalion's senior management.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the infantry platoon leader nicknamed "Jiang Daochang" naturally shut up.

"The deputy company commander is right, but! We want the heads of the Japanese soldiers, and we must have this batch of supplies, otherwise, the commander will see us carrying guns with no bullets back, and he will definitely say that our 4th company is a loser." Zhao Daqiang nodded and concluded his speech.

When he said this, several lieutenants and second lieutenants who came to the meeting, including Zhou Shubin, couldn't help grinning.

They could almost imagine the situation. After Captain Tang asked about the number of casualties, enemies killed, and ammunition consumption, he would definitely scold them instead of praising them.

20,000 rounds of bullets! It used to be the amount used by an infantry battalion, but it was used up by an infantry company of the 4th Company in less than half an hour. I guess they would scold them too.

However, it was really cool! An assault rifle soldier emptied five magazines on average, and those platoon leaders also fired nearly a hundred Mauser pistol bullets. It was an extremely rare and refreshing experience.

Because of the fierce firepower coverage, casualties were unprecedentedly low.

Even if their chief officers were scolded for this, it was worth it!

"I'm afraid that the Japanese will play desperate games, so we're better off." Zhou Shubin finished laughing, but his eyes showed a fierce light, and his hands went down.

That means, should we take the initiative to attack and kill the Japanese army?

If they kill them now, the Japanese army, which has only 80 people and has lost all its heavy firepower, will certainly not have much resistance. It will only take about ten minutes to annihilate them.

For the battle, this white-faced scholar lieutenant company deputy is more eager than the fierce-looking "Jiang Daochang".

"Company deputy, believe me, the Japanese will make a choice as long as they want to live. In that case, our chance may come." Zhao Daqiang, who looks simple like an old farmer and is much more mature than his own age, shook his head slightly.

At this point in the battle, it is unwise to lose soldiers. If that is the case, he would rather be scolded by Tang Dao.

You can't have both fish and bear's paw, so he will give the Japanese time to choose, and maybe he will have the opportunity to eat fish and take bear's paw.

The ancestors said that the last strike also contains the truth of life.

Because the Japanese don't have many choices.

Or, run away along the way they came, which is what he wants to see most. An infantry platoon marching over there will completely kill them on the mountain road.

Or, enter the trap he set for them and stay away from the coveted military supplies, whether it is artillery shells or military rations.

Zhao Daqiang also needs to use his performance on the battlefield to tell Tang Dao that choosing him as the commander of the 4th Company is only one of the factors, and his ability is the most important.

At least for now, his performance is no less than that of the other three infantry company commanders.

Don't rush to make a decision, slow down a little, and let him wait for the opportunity to fight...
